You're The Bomb!!

Hi Folks, It's been a crazy busy week here which is why Friday has rushed around again so quickly and along with it a new challenge at CASual Fridays and this time we have a colour theme to spark your creativity :0)

We have a new sponsor this week... Neat and Tangled Stamps. 

Danielle Walls is the designer and owner of this new stamp company, see her cute hand-drawn stamps here,  our Facebook team where generously given a set to play with so don't forget to check out there daily inspiration this week :0)

I've gone extremely CAS with my card, even-so, it took me a while to make as the mojo seems to be ebbing away at the moment!!

The stamps are from There She Goes and I've popped up the word 'BOMB' so I could tuck the actual bomb slightly behind it. It's just a small card because the images aren't big and I just love these cute square,  textured cards :0)

**********

If you visit my blog regularly you'll have noticed the reduced number of blog posts this past month!!

Well it seems the school holidays and transition from school to University and all it entails are keeping me busy, leaving no time for blogging and crafting apart from DT stuff :0(

I'm hoping that by October things will be more settled although I'm not sure how all these changes will suit James...... he's going to miss not having his big sister around when she goes to Uni, he had a few weeks to get used to it in the holidays when Hannah went travelling and he coped quite well so fingers crossed for an eleven week term!!

Anyhow, in the meantime .... I'll enjoy seeing where this colour theme takes you....what will you choose to go with black and white??

Thanks for looking :0)

CFC#69 Embossing

Good Morning,

It's time again for a new challenge at CASual Fridays and this week is a Guest designer search too :0)

Embossing is this weeks theme and it can be heat, dry or both if you fancy!!!.... so dig out those heatguns, light boxes or folders and get embossing for a chance to win a gift card for our regular sponsor,  Simon Says Stamp.

I used this challenge as a chance to rummage through my under-used brass embossing stencils and found this cute design from Lasting Impressions....

Their stencils are great for embossing, fussy cutting and layering up using a variety of materials... I used Whitewash Co-ordinations for the bath and vellum for the bubbles alongside regular card..... the alphabet is a Sizzix decorative strip called 'Easy Peasey'.

This week we have Nerina guest designing with us so please go check out her card along with the rest of the Girl Fridays before you start creating :0)

Thanks for looking :0)

A Time for Couples

Good Morning everyone and welcome to the new challenge over at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge.

This month we are asking to see couples on your cards.... it doesn't have to be romantic as long as we can see a couple of characters .... human, animal or a mix of both :0)

I've used a Wplus9 stamp and die set called Lovebirds  for my couple of characters.... I just love that sentiment from the set.

This is the card I'm sharing over at Make the Day Special blog today and the stamps and dies are available in the store here.

It would be great if you could join us this month and spread the word about the challenge too... the more that play the merrier  :0)... and to tempt you even more I thought I'd show you this weeks prize which has been so generously donated by Lili of the Valley.
These two stamps are up for grabs...aren't they cute :0)

Please pop by the St Luke's blog to see the rest of the DT cards and details on how to send your handmade cards to the hospice so they can be sold to raise much needed funds :0)

Thanks for looking :0)
